What Do You Call Older Adults?

by Admin,posted Jul 19 2011 12:00AM

For many, the word “senior” is synonymous with “old.” When I first started writing Senior Living I had a problem with that word too, but I’ve come to realize that what you’re called is less important than how you see yourself. Some people are old at 50, others are young in spirit and vigorous at 80.

I asked Senior Living readers what they prefer to be called, and got a variety of interesting–and funny–replies. If you have an opinion about what to call older adults, I hope you’ll add your two cents.
